Despite recent consensus in the ASL community on pseudo-continuous ASL as preferred labeling method, several challenges still exist towards optimizing pCASL labeling efficiency in-vivo, including its sensitivity to vessel tortuosity and off-resonance effects. In this work, we assess the impact of labeling plane location and labeling scheme on the ASL perfusion signal.
